ooc:
Was Alethia officially offered a job previously, or is that still on 'probation'?

OOC: You haven't completed the initiation yet. To begin with there is "Hell Week" No, we don't require you to spend a week duing highly physical activities, memorising minutae, being disciplined etc.. You have to surive a week in Hell and then...hey where are you running to?

ooc:
I can imagine the kind of chaos Alethia could cause in Hell.
Winces at evil DM plothook just presented.
Please wait until epic levels!

IC:
"If this is the normal probationary period prior to hire, can't wait to see what a regular week is like," Alethia grinned at Shando.

 

[Hawkeye]

"Well, to be honest, we don't usually end up covered in sewer run off, fighting demonic undead and undead dragons that spew acid and demonic wasps this early in the week. We aren't usually ambushed and lose the Lord of Waterdeep this soon, while leaving his daughter and heir in jeopardy. Someone at the office must have changed the schedule and forgotten to have informed those of us in the field. Typical bueracrtaic bungling if you ask me. Once that situation has been remedied, I think you will find the pacing of your ambushes, dragon attacks, assasination attempts, political intrigue and attacks upon the peoples and city of Waterdeep more to your liking.", Shando deadpans.

Alethia chuckles. "Like the man says. One night of intense, life and soul threatening action followed by weeks of mind-numbing boredom. Rinse and repeat as desired."

 

[DM_Matt]

Meanwhile, Aleena walks a little faster to catch up with Jornac and fix the problem she just created.

"I am sorry to inconvenience you such, sir, but even though I have managed to eliminate our hygene issues, someone kidnapped me last night and tried to sacrifice me to an evil goddess, so I feel the need to insist that these guards in the employ of my family take us to thier very well protected headquarters until the danger passes. You too should fear for your life, considering the events of the past few days."

Jornac seems convinced. "Very well. In fact, maybe it is for the best that she (cocks head towards Kiran) stay with you for the night. I'd rather not have to explain to anyone else what I am doing with her, and would rather avoid the appearance of inpropriety by taking her to her room alone."

 

[Hypersmurf]

Fin draws Timrin aside.

"Most of the victims of the swarms we saw tonight moved like zombies... but we know that Alath seemed pretty normal until she exploded. Any way of knowing if what you're sensing is Jornac, or a swarm inside him?"

"I want to figure out some way of testing Kiran as well... don't want her inside the compound if she's drugged, charmed, or infested..."

He carries on past to speak with Murdoch.

"Any obvious magic on either of them? Enchantment, in particular?" he murmurs.

OOC:

1. Is Alethia's Magic Circle Against Evil still running? Does it appear to have any effect on Jornac or Kiran? Do we know if the anti-Dominate effect of PfE/MCaE would work on the swarm control?

2. Will Neutralize Poison sober someone who is drunk or drugged?

Some enchantment magic, but all on jewelry and Jornac's sword.

Anti-Dominate may or may not work. Since it seems the bugs need to actually fly into someones head to control them, they probably do it biomechanically, not magically, in which case it wouldnt.

NP doesnt work if the poison, like most, works through ability damage. I use the Tourneys and Taverns rules when I have to use rules, which do not, but since by wotc rules alcohol DOES work that way, it is not subject to NP, but rather requires restoration as well.

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
Bloody jetlag. Bloody insomnia. This is what happens when I sleep for 14 hrs straight on a Sunday.

Alethia nodded soberly. "It might be best at that. This place is still somewhat unsettled."

Unsettled is an understatement. All of this smacks as a diversion. But to what and for what purpose? that small voice whispered. Be wary. Be very wary.

 

[frostrune]

Timrin hangs back a bit as they move past and gestures for one of the others to keep them talking. Once they are engaged, he quickly casts a Detect Undead and checks out the fancy lad. It could be a very bad idea if he just 'invited' a vampire into their compound.

OOC: DM_Matt, Has my Detect Undead spell picked up anything?
